CBS Sports anchor Kate Abdo has announced she’s changing her name.
The popular host married retired boxer Malik Scott in an intimate ceremony earlier this month.

Abdo joined pundits Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards for the first Champions League action of the new season.
Moments into the show, the 43-year-old revealed she had signed an “exclusive contract” over the summer.
Abdo said, to cheers from the panel: “Yes, with my new husband!”
“Allow me to reintroduce myself. Last name, Abdo. It has to go. S-C-O-T-T. Kate Scott.”
The show went on to show snaps from the couple’s wedding before the panellists each gave Kate a hug.
As Henry finished his embrace with the glamourous anchor, Carragher quipped: “Malik’s not here, is he?”
Earlier this year, Liverpool legend Carragher made an “ill-timed” comment which missed the mark during a live broadcast.
In a skit involving an Arsenal shirt, Abdo stated she wouldn’t wear it on TV because she is “loyal” to her team Man Utd.
Carragher quipped back, saying: “not to Malik”.
Abdo responded: “Why would you even ask that?”
Kate took the comment in good spirits but revealed she had been “hurt” in the studio.
She told iFLTV: “What Jamie said came from nowhere.
“It was just a quick line, it was meant to be funny, sometimes they hit, sometimes they don’t. That one went a little bit sideways.
“I felt a little bit hurt but it is what it is. You move on. We talked about it, we’re all good, nothing really to talk about.”
